The Seven Pillars "rough draft",
By Mark Twain (Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete 1922 " Seven Pillars of Wisdom " : 'The Oxford Text' (Hardcover)
As I pointed out elsewhere, this 1922 Oxford text of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, is Lawrence's privately printed (only 8 copies!) first published version, for the purpose of sending to various people involved in the Arab Revolt for their corrections and/or approval. As it is, without additional proofing, this version is of historical interest as Lawrence's relatively uncensored telling of what happened. If you are looking for a good read, use the 1935 edition or Lawrence's abridged version under the name "Revolt in the Desert."

Seven Pillars of Wisdom,
By GBM "ardent reader" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete 1922 " Seven Pillars of Wisdom " : 'The Oxford Text' (Hardcover)
This edition of this extraordinary work of literature is a travesty. It has not been proofread for typesetting errors, for textual errors, for anything, as far as I am able to tell. This edition SHOULD be unavailable; it is a shameful and cheap attempt to profit unjustly from an extraordinary literary achievement accomplished by someone else. I was shocked and saddened to see such shoddy work, and dismayed to see it on Amazon.
